Lawn Aeration

A "technician", came to our door, and was in the area, asked us if we would like our lawn aerated. I told my husband maybe we should think about it, as they were charging 100.00, and our lawn is very small. The "technician" insisted that there prices were the best and you couldn't rent a machine for that. He proceeded to aerate our lawn, but stopped because he wanted to see if the neighbours were home so he could aerate their lawn. Once he got in touch with them, he returned to finish the job. He aerated the lawn very fast, and did a very poor job. I called some local businesses in Winnipeg, that deal with aerator rentals, and one company told me they charged $30.00 for 4 hours, and $45.00 for 8. Go figure! Another was $50.00 and they do the aeration for you! When I emailed the company to tell them about their service and prices, all I received was a polite, "the prices suit your lot size". I will never deal with this company again. The "technician" wasn't truthfull and badgered us into a crummy deal. Not a good company to deal with. Definitely shop around before you let someone aerate for that price!!

Approximate cost of services:
$100.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Tell the truth to the customer, don't try to scam them because you want to make a fast buck! Finish one job before you try and scam another!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Shop around, don't deal with this company.

Backyard Sprinkler system

Got my backyard updated with a Orbit sprinkler system.
The installation was conducted by property stars.
The service was good and the sprinkler system works really well.
I would recommend it to a friend

lawn core aeration

In May of 2011 a young man came to my door and said he was aerating lawns and asked if I would like to have mine done. I asked the price and he told me it was $78.00. I gave permission to have the work done and he did the aeration . He provided me with an invoice showing the company name to be Canadian property Stars. I made a cheque out to the company and he left. This February (2012) I received a call from this company asking if they could come again this year and aaerate my lawn and if I paid in advance, there would be no tax. I told the caller that I was not decided whether or not to have this work done again this year and they should call back when they were doing lawns in the area and I would have made a decision by then. This past Friday April 13th,, in my absence, a young man came on the property without asking permission and proceeded to aerate my lawn. Only when he was finished did he come to the door and told my wife that I had scheduled the work and presented her with an invoice for $156.00, exactly twice the price I paid last year. Not knowing that I did not give permission for this work to be done she unfortunately, paid the invoice. I have tried to contact the company by email and phone to no avail. This is definitely a scam company and I will advise all my neighbous to reject their approaches in the future. Cy Gouthro

Window cleaning and driveway sealing

Got a good deal for driveway sealing and free window cleaning.
Would probably call them this summer too for the same work and might try their aeration too.
They are not as good as Weed man or other big names but do a good job.

Lawn Aerate

We decided to give this company a try to have our lawn aeratted this spring based on the promotion they were providing in our neighbourhood. Just about the entire block had their lawn done! The contractor was very detailed & very patient in explaining what the benefits & process are in having our lawn areatted. Over all a very good experience & a very resonable price for lawn care.
